My 17 week old Dark Brahma is laying down a lot more then usual. Like yesterday for example, most of the other chickens were outside in the run while she was laying down on the floor of the coop. Is this a sign that she will be laying soon?
Here are afew pics of her that I took yesterday...

My girls do the squat which is wings tensed and spread out and kind of a lower sit but not laying down. The only times my girls lie down completely is to dust bathe. Otherwise they are busy busy busy.
